As they have done previously, Apple has shutdown developer access to iTunes Connect from December 21 – 28. This means developers will be unable to release any new apps or updates to the App Store and they will not be able to change the pricing of their apps. For the next week, all prices in the App Store will remain unchanged.

Since many developers dropped their prices before the shutdown, we’ll be featuring some of the best deals currently available. Be sure to check back each day to discover great savings on top apps.

For today’s Daily Deal we’ve found 60 great apps to add to your iPad collection. We have 18 productivity / entertainment apps and 42 game apps in today’s bundle.

We used our PadGadget Apps Tracker to find these great deals and we’ll continue to look for the best app deals as they pop-up. Some of these apps are up to 86% off, several are even free, so be sure to check them out because they are on sale for a limited time.
